#1 - Dealing with a "Recession"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the strategies that has helped me to consistently increase
my income every year is digital downloads. You may know that
I have a number of digital products:
- Relentless Ring & String book
- MagicBase Pro Marketing software
- Wild Hand manufacturing instructions
- Burned Bill BBQ video instructions
- Memory Magic audio instructions
All of these files can be found at http://www.BobMillerMagic.biz
Do you have any digital products that you'd like to sell?
They could be performance instructions, or a short video,
or an audio file.
I'll host it for you. I'll post it and promote it on my site
for a portion of the purchase price. No charge to you
until you sell a copy.
Contact me by email if you have something that you'd
like to try to sell.

#2 - NEW Relentless Ring & String Routine DVD
-------------------------------------------------
Relentless has been my biggest selling product.
It was released a decade ago.
Last month I went to Kenosha WI and re-shot most of the new
video with the help of my good friend, DJ Ehlert.
So, we're in the post-production stage of completing this.
But you could be in it...
Do you have a new, ring and string move that has not been
put on video before? Or do you know of any cool move,
and the creator of it?
Please send an email reply.
Creators of the moves will get on-screen credit,
and a free copy of the new DVD.
This is a good way to lock in your origination of
a move.

#3 - MagicBase Pro News
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-From a recent review in MAGIC magazine, from John Lovick:
"Now that I've got MagicBase Pro at my disposal... I'll be
too busy gigging to write amusingly scathing reviews."
-----------------------------------
MAGICBASE PRO IS FOR SALE FROM
MAGIC DEALERS AROUND THE WORLD NOW.
The wholesale company, Murphy's Magic is now offering
MagicBase Pro to all of their dealers. Tell your performing
friends to ask for it at their favorite dealer's.

#4 - MARKETING CAMPAIGNS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
What is a 'Marketing Campaign' and how does it differ from advertising?
Definition: A 'Marketing Campaign' is the plan of your communication
to your prospects.
The communication could be:
- a mailed newsletter
- an email
- a series of mailings
- a tele-seminar
- a digital download
- an ad in a magazine
- a phone call.
Or, it could be any combination of those.
To be most effective, you'll want to plan out a series
of communications. It may take a number of contacts
with a prospect before they respond to you.
So, don't give up. Make a plan and stick to it!

#5 - Congratulations to Chris Brown, Memory Expert
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I got a nice note from Chris Brown this month:
"Hi Bob,
Just wanted you to know that I used some similar methods to those
listed in your BAM book this past weekend at the USA Memory
Championships (www.usamemorychampionship.com). I finished in
3rd overall and scored a time of 3min22s to memorize a deck of cards
(although my personal best time is 1:56). I've always been interested
in memory techniques and read your book as part of my training for
the event. There will be TV coverage of the event eventually, although
I'm not sure when. Thanks for everything!"
~Chris Brown
The BAM book that Chris is talking about is my
Borrowed And Memorized Deck book.
It teaches you how to memorize any number of cards
on-the-fly secretly while you are performing other
card tricks.
Read about it here:
http://www.bobmillermagic.biz/BAMad.html
You can also find a video of me performing a memory
demo on that page.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A word from our sponsor:
Is your club looking for a UNIQUE LECTURE THAT HAS NEVER
BEEN DONE BEFORE?
I'm starting to book dates for my Borrowed And Memorized Deck
Lecture. It is an introduction to how to memorize cards on the fly
while you do card tricks.
I have an eBook on the subject. Read about it here:
http://www.bobmillermagic.biz/BAMad.html
Request information by email.

#6 - A Great Part-Time Job
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to have an additional income source?
Magic is my main source of income, but not my only source.
One of the reasons that my income has increased in the
last year is because of diversification.
I'm looking for performers who want to make residual income
showing people a program that will help them to get out of debt
quickly, pay off their mortgage and manage their finances.
Are you that person?
Here is the link to the company that I'm working with.
